Kernel: Implemented mutex priority inheritance.

Verified with a hwtest and implemented based on reverse engineering.

Thread A's priority will get bumped to the highest priority among all the threads that are waiting for a mutex that A holds.
Once A releases the mutex and ownership is transferred to B, A's priority will return to normal and B's priority will be bumped.
